DIN EN 62683:2014-02

This International Standard is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing low voltage switchgear and controlgear. This standard provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products particularly in electronic catalogues. Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and naming, and where relevant, a defined value list, a defined format and a defined unit. The intention is to prepare a reference dictionary allowing the general description of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear based on defined properties. The intention is not to cover manufacturer specific features. The responsible committee is K 431 "Niederspannungsschaltgeräte und -kombinationen" ("Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
